The Islamic Center of Murfreesboro (ICM), like mosques in other cities, is finally being honest about its allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood.

This allegiance was the concern of mosque opponents all along. Earlier on, the clues were more subtle, with brochures printed by Muslim Brotherhood off-shoot ISNA and a board member’s facebook page extolling the virtues of Hamas. Then the ICM hired an Egyptian native and Al-Azhar graduate, Imam Bahloul.

On November 3, 2013, the ICM is hosting a program called “God’s Books.” Panelist Jamal Badawi is listed as a member of ISNA (another Muslim Brotherhood unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing prosecution). Born and raised in Egypt, Badawi’s resume also includes:

Member of the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) – along with Al-Ahzar University in Cairo, the preeminent teaching center of sharia law, the FCNA authenticated the English translation of the “Reliance of the Traveller, the Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law.” Read more in Newsletter #86 about what this book says and about FCNA members that have been arrested, deported and named as unindicted co-conspirators in connection with terrorist activities.

Board member of CAIR

Founding incorporator of the Muslim American Society (MAS) – In 2012, convicted terrorist Abdurrahman Alamoudi told federal investigators that “[e]veryone knows that MAS [Muslim American Society] is the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Member of European Council for Fatwa and Research, an organization headed by Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas spiritual leader, Yousef Al-Qaradawi (Qaradawi has many “credits” to his name including heading up the Hamas created Union of Good charities which was designated by the U.S. Treasury in 2008 for terrorism financing). Qaradawi has been banned from the U.S. since 1999 and from the United Kingdom since 2008 because of his support for suicide bombings against Israel and attacks against American troops in Iraq.

Named individually as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism financing prosecution.

In another terrorism trial federal prosecutors said that the Muslim American Society had been “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States”. Badawi was one of the three founders of MAS and is listed on the group’s articles of incorporation.

“We have a seed for a ‘comprehensive Dawa’ educational’ organization: We have the Daw’a section in ISNA + Dr. Jamal Badawi Foundation + the center run by brother Hamed al-Ghazali…”

“The big challenge that is ahead of us is how to turn these seeds or ‘scattered’ elements into comprehensive stable, ‘settled’ organizations that are connected with our Movement and which fly in our orbit and take orders from our guidance. This does not prevent – but calls for – each central organization to have its local branches but its connection with the Islamic center in the city is a must.”

Badawi is also one of about 200 US Muslim leaders who has received and refused to sign the Freedom Pledge from Nonie Darwish and Former Muslims United asking them to sign a simple statement that apostates from Islam should not be harmed. When we asked him about the letter, in Los Angeles, He said he never got it, at which point we gave him his copy addressed to him. Months later, I asked him why he had not signed it. He said “nobody tells me what I have to sign and besides it is not necessary. Apostates are not killed.” (I am paraphrasing.)

What is sad about this is “Murfreesboro, Tennessee” is a suburb of Nashville which has become residence to many of our Country Music Stars. This at one time was an extremely “Conservative” and highly Christian Community.
